Comcast is a local monopoly in my area. As such, users have little recourse when Comcast abuses their power. I think given what we know about Comcast it is fair to assume that they would misuse all traffic on their network if it makes them more profitable. Their incentives are not aligned with their users. Why not save all your customer's web traffic and sell it to advertisers... Why spend any money securing all that data? what are our customers going to do? Go back to dial up? VPN services have to compete with each other. Consumers can't really be sure their provider is doing the things they say they are, but at least their incentives are somewhat more in line with doing the right thing. I hope so anyway. Hopefully, VPN customers are a little more informed than the article suggests. I guess we will see how much NordVPN was punished in the market over the next few months. That said, don't trust anyone on the internet - to the extent that you can - especially Comcast.
